Child Labor
Many children worked 16 hour days under atrocious conditions, as their elders did. Laws began to regulate the work of children in factories and cotton mills to 12 hours per day by about 1819. › Soon it was suggested that children aged 11-18 be
permitted to work a maximum of twelve hours per day;
› children 9-11 were allowed to work 8 hour days; › and children under 9 were no longer permitted to work
at all › In Iron and coal mines, children began work at age 5,
and generally died before they were 25
Child Labor
The treatment of children in factories was often cruel and the children's safety was generally neglected. › The youngest children, who were not old enough to work
the machines, were commonly sent to be assistants to textile workers.
The people who the children served would beat them, verbally abuse them, and take no consideration for their safety.
One common punishment for being late or not working up to quota would be to be "weighted." › An overseer would tie a heavy weight to worker's neck,
and have them walk up and down the factory aisles so the other children could see them and "take example.”
